Big Brother Finland 5
 

So I've been idle for a while. But I just can't help it...gotta report what's going on in here. Whether anyone's interested or not. :whistle:

Anyhow...the 5th season begins here on the 24th, less than 2 weeks away. This year, according to the production team, will be completely different from the previous. Not only the house, but also they are saying to revolutionize the whole concept. Remains to be seen, what that means. If it means anything. :whistle:

There are some talks, that 14 housemates will enter on day one.

Anyhow...here are a few pictures leaked out of the new house:

A wider look at the new living area.

I'm off to bed now. Will keep you updated as soon as I get something new.

How will I be able to see this show?

It looks so basic and lol

looks like they haven't changed much if you ask me

the only reason why i like to keep up with the Scandinavian BBs is the nudity :blush2:

Only by searching for torrents and such. I might be able to provide the daily shows, but can't promise anything.

Anyway...one more picture, to the bedroom:

The house really isn't much different from last year. Some minor changes...for example the entrance to the house is now where it was on the first two seasons. Also, there are rumours going that we won't have a shop this year.

The house do seem a bit boring...though, there's only one bed. A big bed. That's different. I guess.

The early houses were much better but it's typical of the Scandinavian versions to build very simple"Ikea" theme houses.

And hi Antos, glad to see you back. :hugesmile:

Yeah...I just hope there'll be something else upstairs than the penthouse this year. One of the minor changes this year is, that there's a batthub somewhere indoors. Also, the task-field has been updated. Or at least that's what the production team is saying.

Thanks and hi, CR. :)

What language is spoken in Finland?

Finnish. :spin2:

All 14 HMs have now entered the house. Here they are:

http://www.bigbrother.fi/julkaisut/m...vat/778550.jpg
Esa A, 29


I'll add more details of these HMs as soon as I can.

Ok...this is different, at least in BB Finland. The HMs were told to gather on the sofas. Their stuff were brought in by some guys...no suitcases, each HM have 2 boxes of their stuff brought in.

This probably has something to do with the bedroom having only one large bed. The HMs don't really have any other place to store their clothes.

Also...the bed looks kinda small for 14 ppl. So...I guess the rumours are true. It's going to be 2 distinctive groups for us this year. Possibly something like rich/poor. Can't really say anything solid about that yet.

A better look at the house:

The yard have changed a bit.

Ok...in the first few hours this season has been going (this year I bought the live feed for the whole season), my first impression:

A couple of sensible persons. And the rest are more or less like chevs.

Terttu just won't shut up. And she looks like she's lost her marbles somewhere along the road.

Yeah...let's see, how this season folds out. :whistle:

katlin looks like nikki (bb7)

Yeah...some of the Finnish BB-fans made the same comment the moment she entered the house. Or actually a few hours before, as the pictures of the HMs leaked out a bit early.

She looks like Nikki, but is really nothing like her. Kätlin seems to be quite social, supportive and smart. If she keeps this up, she might even become the first ever foreign HM to win here. She's Estonian, have only lived here for a few years.

Of course it's really early to say anything.

The first verbal fight was already seen and heard last night. Nino is gay, Aso homophobic. I didn't see the incident, because I was watching a different camera. But from what I've read, a seemingly innocent convo escalated with one of the girls provoking.

Alcohol had a big part of it though, now they seem all fine.

Oh yeah...and the eye this year looks a bit like in the UK edition. The design, that is:


http://www.bigbrother.fi/julkaisut/m...vat/763279.jpg

finnish....

Kätlin looks like Nikki Graham
and i LOVE the bed idea

Ok. I'm still waiting the kick-off to air tonight. But...an inside source wrote in his blog, that for the first week the HMs will live in luxury. All of them. And beginning next week, half of the HMs will have even more luxury than now...and the other will be stripped down to the mere basics.

Actually also Swedish is an official language here. But in BB they have to speak Finnish, unless told otherwise by Big Brother.

Last year there were 3 Russian-born HMs. One of them was trying to teach Russian to one of the other HMs. Big Brother told them to speak Finnish. This year we have 2 Estonian HMs (Kätlin and Ragnar)...they spoke a few words in Estonian when they first met. But switched to Finnish, before Big Brother told them to.

It has now been confirmed, that the HMs will be devided to poor and rich next week.

Ohh Thanks.

I wanted to watch this it looks good but I can't understand finish. :sad:

The start is certainly promising. They've taken a lot of influences from BBUK. This year will be first for us, that the HMs will be divided to rich and poor for an undisclosed period of time. And I guess as a consequence of the HMs don't have a weekly budget either, which in turn means the shop as well as weekly tasks are gone.

Btw...here's the opening title:

R U Sophies brother :thumbs:

Today's task is "Cowboys". They had to make their own lyrics with a line for each HM to an existing melody. They'll get a huge theme-party as a reward, if they succeed to impress Big Brother. Although I guess the party will happen regardless.

One of the producers is also saying, that the look of the house will change next week to go with the poor/rich-theme.

Some rumours are circulating, that there will also be HoH starting next week. The HoH would change weekly and be automatically rich.

Two of the HMs, Dana and Ragnar, recently competed in Fear Factor Finland.

This week has been an endless party. Almost anyway. Nothing interesting though, a couple of arguments.

Some interesting info leaked out yesterday. As I told earlier, the HMs will be divided to rich and poor. More precisely the house will be divided to Paradise and Slum.

The HMs living in slum won't be eligible to nominate by default. Every monday, tuesday and wednesday they'll compete for the right to nominate. They won't have any warm water and will have only a grill for cooking. They are not allowed to receive anything from the HMs living in Paradise.

While the poor are competing for their right to nominate, the HMs in the Paradise are living large. They'll have warm water in the shower, jacuzzi and sauna at their disposal 24/7. They can make requests to Big Brother of the food they'd like to have. Naturally they are also eligible to vote anyone of the other HMs except themselves.

The HoH will also live in Paradise. The HMs (all of them) will compete for the title every thursday. If one of the poor wins the title, he or she will be transferred to Paradise. They also have to choose one HM, who will have to move to the Slum immediately. Of course the HoH will have immunity in the nominations, which will take place on thursdays right after the HoH-competition.

I'll write short descriptions of the HMs as soon as I know who goes where. Anyhow...seems like it will be the most interesting season for us yet. :thumbs2:

Lotta looks like BBU's Aleshia!

[rquote=2500449&tid=139470&author=Arneldo]Lotta looks like BBU's Aleshia![/rquote]
Lotta also is a hairdresser, like Aleisha.

There were no nominations last week. However, Big Brother let the HMs believe they were all up for eviction. That wasn't the case, as there was no eviction either.

Today two of the HMs got a penalty for discussing about the production. Both Esas were the punished HMs, but they were the only two HMs who didn't actually feel the penalty. All of the rest of the HMs had to strip down to their underwear and stand in a small rectangular area in the yard until Big Brother says otherwise. Meanwhile Esas had a small feast in front of them.

Tonight the HMs got yet another party with mild alcohol-drinks. This is just an attempt to make the drop even more difficult for those HMs who will be sent to the Slum (or Hell) this week. I'm guessing this will happen either on Wednesday or Thursday. Only two of the HMs don't drink alcohol: Terttu is really religious and Esa A just have chosen not to drink.

A little more about the HMs. These are not from their introductions, but rather my impressions of them after the 1st week:

Aso - a bit homophobic, he has emphasised numerous of times how heterosexual he is. Originally from Iran.

Esa A - a bit boring, he's the president of a local branch of Mensa

Esa J - not much to say about this guy...I still haven't really got much out of him

Nino - gay guy, kinda bubbly. Insecure of himself. Has a crush on Esa J, who didn't really know how to deal with it at first. Now Nino has switched to Sampo.

Sampo - one of the two bisexual guys in the house. He's kinda nice and funny. He has brought some hats that are kinda like teddies at the same time. There's a teddybear, shark, mouse and chicken.

Sami - I like this guy. He's a karaoke-host and also sings in a band. He doesn't look down to anyone.

Ragnar - the other bisexual guy in the house. He really can't take alcohol well...in one of the parties last week he passed out to the toilet. A good dancer though. He's into styling, and have been playing a make-up artist in the house. Originally from Estonia.

Dana - a wanna-be actress, studied in France for two years and spent also some time in Hollywood. Has been modeling. In the house she's been relatively invisible. Or at least quiet. For the past few days she's come out a bit though. Also a good dancer. She's jealous of Kätlin for getting more attention than her. Born in Russia, I think it was her mother who originated from Kazakshtan. She speaks 5 languages more or less fluently; Finnish, Russian, Kazan, English and French.

Kätlin - my favourite, and not only because of her looks. Really bubbly outgoing personality, who is always offering her help in any chore. Of course this might also be, because she has openly confessed that she loves the attention. The best dancer in the house IMO. Of course, I might be biased. :blush2:

Tuija - in one word: neurotic. I can't even remember all of the flaws she has around her body that she's told about. Oh yeah...in her own words she once had a fever of 46 centigrade. Before she went in the house she said she just wants the publicity, whether it's good or bad. I'm leaning towards really bad at this point. However...with her neurotical outbursts she's kinda entertaining.

Minna - I'm not quite sure of her. The only thing that has really stuck to my mind is, that whenever she gets drunk, she's really pushy with the guys. I think she would take any of the girls too, if the guys don't want her.

Jelena - A real bitch, but then again she said she would be. Whenever there's a fight or rumours going around, she's had some part of starting it. Mostly.

Lotta - our little hairdresser really is an airhead. She doesn't seem to understand anything. Also her diet pretty much consists of pasta (with nothing else than ketchup), pizza (with only tomato sauce and cheese on it), noodles, some fruits, chicken and sometimes eggs. She's just really picky, she says yuck to food she hasn't even tasted yet.

Terttu - she's talking almost constantly. Even though she's really religious, she seems to be very tolerant of the parties. For the past few days she's been practically trying to shove her religious thought down everyone else's throats.

The HMs are now recycling cables on the task-area. They will be outside the whole night. Meanwhile changes are made to the house for the divide. The HMs will be divided in the morning.

They have slept very little, most of them. And this task isn't exactly helping. Half of the HMs can't even have a shower tomorrow on...only cold water to wash themselves with.

I think it's safe to say, that the game is now on.

The HMs have been now living in Slum and Paradise for about 10 hours. Nothing really dramatic yet, Terttu went to the toilet in the Paradise though because she couldn't understand they are not allowed to the Paradise. Unless Big Brother instructs them otherwise.

The divide is kinda boring, the house didn't exactly change that much. Slum just got appropriate wallpaints including tags and a graffiti outside. Paradise didn't change at all. They just divided the house with a rope.

A few pictures, that will give a general idea of the new look:

The BR in the slum. A room previously unused this season, last season it was the gym most of the time.

HMs living in Paradise:

Dana, Jelena, Kätlin, Minna, Esa J, Aso and Sami.

And of course the other half of them are in the slum.

Dana won the HoH competition, thus making her the first HoH in the history of BBF.

There's a pool party going on in Paradise, though it's not much of a party...not yet anyway. I guess most of the HMs in Paradise are just as shocked of this twist as those in the slum.

Oh yeah...the first nominations were held today too. Only those in Paradise were eligible to nominate.

Up for eviction: Aso, Esa A and Terttu.

Terttu was evicted. No percentages were shown.

Dana hasn't really had any responsibilities or power as HoH. This will change next week. Whoever wins the competition next week, will have the power to choose any HM to move from Paradise to Slum and vice versa. And as many as he or she choose to.

Is there anyway I can watch this online???

[rquote=2555127&tid=139470&author=xxskyexx]Is there anyway I can watch this online???[/rquote]
Sorry...haven't been around for a few days. There are no free feeds available. I guess you could try torrents.

Earlier this week there was a controversy. Tuesday night at around 1.30 am Esa J and Minna were given the common bedroom for their own use for 30 minutes. Naturally this led them to have sex. At one point the covers were off and their genitals shown for abou 10 seconds. Turning the feed x-rated. This is against the channel's policy, and as a result the feed-director responsible for showing too much on a close angle was fired by the production.

The slum HMs won the right to nominate. The following 4 HMs are up for eviction this week: Jelena, Kätlin, Ragnar and Tuija. Aso was immune as the HoH.

Today Aso had the opportunity to re-organize slum and paradise. However...after asking Dana, if she would like to be in slum with Ragnar Dana draw her own conclusions. She then repeatedly said she knew what Aso would have to do. Big Brother inteprated this so, that Aso had broken the rules. As a penalty Aso's position as the HoH was removed, and all of the Paradise HMs were moved to Slum and vice versa.

In a few hours a new HM will enter the house. She's 20 years of age and a sleepwalker. This much have been revealed thus far.

Meet the new addition to the house:


http://www.bigbrother.fi/julkaisut/m...vat/793814.jpg
Justiina, 20, single

First impression: she seems really nice and someone who can bring life to the house. She mentions music and tattoos as her hobbies in her profile.

Jelena was evicted. It wasn't really a big surprise...it was pretty much expected.

Dana took Jelena's eviction the hardest...they've been so tight, and now Dana has to make a new gameplan.

This week's nomination task is American Football. The slummates had 3 training sessions yesterday, 2 hours each. Today in the morning they had another one, and sometime today they have a game. I have no idea of their opponent.

On Sunday new HMs will enter, I don't know how many. Also 2 HMs will be evicted.

I'm still cautiosly waiting to see, if this split will work. It's not really working now, it's executed really poorly. Paradise is really just like the normal house. I'm still waiting for the luxuries they were promised...the only one of the mentioned luxuries thus far is warm water in the shower 24/7.

that house looks boring.

The house is boring, and so is the whole season at the moment. The highlights really are the nomination tasks and the HoH tasks.

Though every now and then the split is starting to get to some of the HM's nerves. This has created a couple of small conflicts between the HMs.

Anyway...to this week's business:

Kätlin, Lotta, Nino and Tuija are up for double-eviction. Sampo was immune in the nominations as the new HoH. This eviction will be tough, all of those 4 HMs have their own entertainment values. There are a few HMs more boring than any of those who are up for eviction.

Also, as the HoH Sampo had to re-arrange the HMs in slum and paradise. He sent Esa A, Justiina and Tuija to the slum. And brought Dana, Kätlin and Sami to the paradise.
